It is common for newborn babies to experience diarrhea. Many parents are not very familiar with the causes of infant diarrhea and may think it is caused by catching a cold. Therefore, they cannot prescribe the right medicine during treatment, which may delay the best time for treatment. Let's take a look below: Is infantile diarrhea an allergy?
There is a certain relationship between infant diarrhea and allergies, for example, some infants are allergic to milk. Drinking milk can cause diarrhea and sometimes even vomiting. If a baby is found to be allergic to milk, try not to give him milk. After consulting a doctor for examination, choose milk that is suitable for the baby's physique.
In addition to allergies causing diarrhea in infants, there is also the fact that gastrointestinal function is not fully developed during infancy, and a slight mistake can easily lead to symptoms of diarrhea in infants. For example, bacterial infection can cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever in infants. If this infection is detected and treated in a timely manner, it can be effectively cured.
Gastroenteritis can also cause infant diarrhea, which is caused by many different viruses such as rotavirus, which is very common. Infant diarrhea accompanied by vomiting may be gastroenteritis. You should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner, and not blindly use drugs. Another cause of diarrhea is diarrhea in infants during antibiotic treatment, which may be related to the medication taken and usually improves after discontinuation.
